## Description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

As a Battery Mechanical Engineer, you will conduct the mechanical design, thermal management, and structural analysis of high-voltage and low-voltage battery packs and energy storage modules.

## Responsibilities

- Perform CAD design of battery modules, enclosures, structural support frames, and thermal management components.

- Perform finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate structural and thermal systems, including thermal runaway propagation mitigation.

- Generate, review, and release high-quality engineering drawings and product definitions.

- Collaborate extensively with electrical engineering, battery management systems (BMS) software, and manufacturing teams to integrate cell-level hardware into system-level architectures.

- Support prototyping, environmental testing (vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and penetration testing), and manufacturing operations onsite.

- Own the development of critical battery subsystems from cradle to grave.

## Required Qualifications

- 5+ years of experience performing mechanical design and analysis of complex hardware, ideally involving battery modules or power systems.

- A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or similar.

- Prior experience operating advanced CAD software (such as NX or SolidWorks) and FEA/CFD software.

- A solid understanding of hardware manufacturability, material selection, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

- Strong communication and collaborative skills.

- Ability to travel to other Anduril sites, customer sites, or supplier sites as business demand dictates (anticipated 10-25% travel).

- Ability to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Exhibits strong initiative and ownership of complex engineering tasks.

- Experience with NX CAD software and/or Abaqus FEA software.

- Direct experience designing lithium-ion battery enclosures, cell-to-pack packaging, busbars, and high-voltage safety systems.

- Familiarity with environmental testing standards for high-reliability applications (such as MIL-STD-810, UN 38.3, or DO-160).

- Expertise in engineering tool development in Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, and/or Python.

## Benefits

Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including a comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) that ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
